    Reykjavik, Iceland
    • Reykjavik, Iceland
    Discover Iceland's modern capital. Your expedition cruise starts in Reykjavik - a laid-back city of art, culture, and history. It is well worth spending some time exploring this delightful city. Take a stroll along Laugavegur with its boutiques and outdoor shops, or gaze in awe at the striking Hallgrimskirkja Church, and drop by the fascinating Reykjavik Art Museum. Your expedition ship awaits you in Reykjavik Harbour. After being welcomed aboard and collecting your complimentary expedition jacket, it's time to settle into your cabin before enjoying your first dinner onboard. If you have the time, consider booking a Pre-Program and discovering some of Iceland's natural highlights before your cruise begins. ...

    Grundarfjordur, Iceland
    • Grundarfjordur, Iceland
    Gateway to spectacular Snaefellsnes. The majestic Kirkjufell mountain, one of the best-known landmarks of Iceland, rises just two miles west of the small harbor of Grundarfjordur, a quaint fishing town in Breidafjordur bay. Nearby lies Snaefellsnes Peninsula National Park, with the striking, ice-capped Snaefellsjokull volcano at the peninsula's western tip. Its wide array of landscapes has earned it the nickname 'Little Iceland'. At the national park, you can visit Djupalonssandur's black sand beach and the Saxholl crater. Or why not ride a snowcat to the top of the Snaefellsjokull glacier or take a guided underground tour along a gigantic lava tube? ...

    Isafjordur, Iceland
    • Isafjordur, Iceland
    Explore Westfjords' beautiful harborside town. Flanked by towering mountains on all sides, Isafjordur is a nearly perfect natural harbor and an excellent gateway to the Westfjords region. Stroll around to see the architecture, shop for local handicrafts, and see some of the oldest houses in Iceland. One of these historic 18th-century buildings is home to Westfjords Heritage Museum, where you can learn about the maritime past of this fascinating port. Or if you prefer something more energetic, you could take the steep hike up to Naustahvilft - the Troll's Throne. You'll be rewarded for your efforts with a stunning panoramic view at the top. ...

    Akureyri, Iceland
    • Akureyri, Iceland
    See dramatic moonscapes and waterfalls. Gaze at snowcapped peaks as we cruise into Eyjafjordur, Iceland's longest fjord. Together with neighboring Skjalfandi bay, it's one of the best places in Europe to spot whales. Iceland's so-called 'Northern Capital', Akureyri, sits at the base of the fjord. Here, you can enjoy a botanical garden oasis and visit local eateries and museums. A little further on, witness the picturesque Godafoss waterfall, where turquoise waters pound against black rocks. You'll witness geology come to life around Lake Myvatn, an active volcanic area and one of the few places to see the Mid-Atlantic Ridge up close. ...

    Husavik, Iceland
    • Husavik, Iceland
    • Grimsey Island, Iceland
    Cross the Arctic Circle and go whale watching. Husavik is a pleasant small town famous for its whale-watching opportunities, and we'll be stopping here in the morning. The town looks out over Skjalfandi bay, which enjoys visits from humpback and minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbor porpoises, and occasionally blue whales. If you're lucky, you might see one or more of these giants at sea, and you can learn more about them at the Husavik Whale Museum. Husavik is also regarded as the gateway to many of the highlights of the north, including Jokulsargljufur National Park, the waterfall of Dettifoss, and the horseshoe-shaped valley of Asbyrgi, which according to the Icelandic myths, was made by the eight-legged horse of Odin. Later, we will sail along the coast of Grimsey island without landing, cross the Arctic Circle, and continue on to our next destination. ...

    Bakkagerdi, Iceland
    • Bakkagerdi, Iceland
    Explore a place beloved by puffins and elves. Your Iceland cruise continues to the tiny, remote settlement of Bakkagerdi. According to folklore, Bakkagerdi is inhabited by a large population of local land spirits or elves, known as huldufolk, meaning 'hidden people'. Walk around town to explore this magical place. This popular hiking area features lush valleys and gorgeous scenery among colorful rhyolite rocks. In season, the coastal cliffs are home to fulmars, kittiwakes, eiders, and puffins. We may also visit the Atlantic puffin colony on Hafnarholmi, a true gem for nature lovers and wildlife photographers. ...

    Heimaey, Iceland
    • Heimaey, Iceland
    Discover the town that defied a volcano. Heimaey is the only inhabited island in the Westman Islands, off Iceland's southern coast. It has a fascinating history and still bears the scars of the powerful volcanic eruption that nearly destroyed the island. Visit Eldheimar, a museum that features an excavated home frozen in time, and learn more about the eruption and its aftermath. You could also take a hike to find puffins at Storhofdi, where nearly eight million of them nest every summer. Don't pass up the chance to climb Mount Eldfell to the volcano's summit, where you'll have incredible views of the town below. ...

    • Reykjavik, Iceland
    Enjoy Reykjavik at your own pace. Your Iceland expedition cruise concludes back in Reykjavik. This is a great chance to see the places you missed when you arrived. Relaxing with friends in a heitur pottur, or geothermal pool - literally a 'hot pot' - is part of Icelandic culture. Before you leave, visit Iceland's most famous place to do so: the Blue Lagoon. This is one of the true natural wonders of the world. Experience the blend of silica, algae, and minerals in its geothermal waters. If you want to discover more of Iceland, you can also join a Post-Program before you head home. ...
